When you think of celebrities and Halloween, it won't take long before you're recalling images of model Heidi Klum's legendary spooky getups over the years for her annual party, Heidi Halloween.

From Lady Godiva, Betty Boop and Red Witch to Forbidden Fruit, 'Bodies' Cadavar, and a 95-year-old Heidi, the German runway star continues to hit it out of the park when it comes to nailing top marks for effort, difficulty, patience and accuracy in her Halloween costumes.

Prosthetics are just the tip of the iceberg for Klum's costumes, with the star having sported fake varicose veins, eye lenses, faux breasts, and purple body paint for her most talked about outfits.

Join us as we take a look back at the German businesswoman's most eclectic and, let's face it, bonkers Halloween costumes over the years showing us that more is always more.

After teasing her fans with a post, which she captioned: 'Go big or go home', Klum revealed her larger-than-life peacock, which came complete with the help of nine other people to act as her intricate tail feathers and claws.

2022: Heidi Halloween

Klum pulled out all the stops for Heidi Halloween 2022, opting to appear in an enormous worm costume.

Chunky, ridged and a mixture of pink and brown, the costume was a departure from Klum's more glamorous Halloween costumes in recent years. The outfit featured an elongated tail which moved, and saw Klum lying in it on the red carpet, close to her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, who was dressed as a fisherman.

2021: Heidi Halloween

In her latest Halloween video Klum shared a video in which a voice over talks about her ‘demonically possessed children’ featuring in last year’s lockdown video.

For her Halloween 2021 mini film the model is seen opening a lighter from a coffin and screaming. ‘The dead will rise from their graves,’ a narrator says while a soil-covered Klum crawls out of her grave and spooks her children.

Klum is then seen nude in the shower, putting on make-up while her ear falls off, chopping her thumb off and popping it in a salad bowl and a piece of her cheek in the family’s lasagne. A casual Klum family night dinner, right?

What comes next is truly gross, you’ll just have to watch the video.

‘HERE IT IS 🎃 Normally I’d be hosting my annual Halloween party on Sunday night … but this year things are still looking a little different. So instead, my family and I want to be the first to wish you a safe and spooky Halloween weekend. #HeidiHalloween2021, [sic]’ the post’s caption reads.

2020: Bed sheets

Klum shared a sneak peek of one of her Halloween looks for 2020 on Instagram over the weekend. The clip sees her lying down on a bed as her body is painted by artists to match the white and grey bed sheets. ‘First you see me, now you don’t! The transformation begins…’ she captioned the clip.

In the video, the model wears a face mask and a matching lingerie set, in the same white and grey tones. The star captioned the video with ghost emojis, too, suggesting something spooky was in store for her fans.

2020: Toilet Paper Mummies

The model produced a short horror film instead of throwing her annual Halloween bash this year, starring herself, her husband Tom Kaulitz and her children: Leni, 16, Henry, 15, Johan, 13, and Lou, 11.

‘We had so much fun shooting this together,’ Klum told Vogue of the shoot. ‘My kids learned so much in these two days of filming about how some tricks work, how to move and act like mummies, how to remember their lines and cues. Even though they have come to visit me on many sets over the years, this is the first time they have participated.’

2020: Wall

In her five-minute Halloween video, Klum hides from her family with the help of body paint, transforming into a wall covered in Post-it notes.
